Rome mayor writes a Republic response to the reader, so you're the weak. "Invoking the rule of law is not politacamente incorrect." Multiplying the integration tools for who respects the law of Walter Veltroni Dear Editor, Republic hosted yesterday on its front page a letter from a leftist, educated, attentive to what is happening in his community, who teaches his daughters the values \u200b\u200bof tolerance and of nonviolence, and that both are fed up of crimes committed by immigrants (and of course not only by them) and calls for security, legal claims, wants those who make mistakes pay. Some see in this a contradiction? A get out of the rails of the "politically correct"? If so I think that someone would be out of the way or, better still would be to patterns of our time, and real life people, you are responsible to overcome. Legality is not the right or left. The law does not, and should have a political color. It 's a fundamental right of citizens, and whoever is in government of a community to uphold and knows that his task, his duty. Especially today, because every person who has eyes to see and ears to hear it actually receives in our society, the embers of insecurity and distrust of foreigners are likely to turn into a fire of intolerance and hatred then, closing and then exclusion. How much more absurd and dangerous for the coexistence of all. And 'the paradox of a global time: re-emerging barriers and conflicts of identity, religious or ethnic origin. It 's the risk that we must avoid. What to do, then. Be avoided, meanwhile, the easy polemics, attempts to ride the problems for the purposes of section used to have some small advantage after having fed the fears of citizens. Once this is done, I think there is a dual attitude to take, and I would like to bring the idea to give a concrete example. A few months ago I met the guys at a high school in Rome, who told of acts of hooliganism, theft of a motor, a climate of increasingly heavy. All of the work of some of the nearby Roma camp in via Lombroso. In those kids I did not find any form of racism, in their words, there was nothing ruling: there was the desire of being guaranteed the right to live peacefully in their neighborhood, there was an application of law to which we responded in practice. With the commissioner responsible have held several meetings in the field, unfortunately without success. Families responsible for those acts were then removed, while all others remained to live in what is one of many villages where equipped in recent years we have moved the Roma who had previously lived in squatter settlements and uncontrolled.
is the dual approach: better living conditions, education and job placement, in a word solidarity for those who respect the law and the rules of civil coexistence. Absolute firmness and severity of these laws for those who do not care and these breaking the rules. Doing so is essential. Think of what they are and what they are getting more and more quickly our society. We think of Italy, where foreigners have gone from one million six hundred thousand in 2000 to three million six hundred thousand today. There are two million more people in a few years. Have different histories and cultures are different ways to think and relate to others. Or will it all live with, or strengthen respect for differences is a common heritage of shared rules, or the problems will multiply. We, as Italians, we know what it means to emigrate, what it means to leave their land, their homes, looking for hope of a better life for themselves and for their children. Italy was a poor country, which after the war has risen due to the aid of the international community. Can not be able to understand that now falls to us to do the same, not only because it is morally right, but because the first radical response on immigration and security is to be able to ensure that poor countries should not be longer escape? Simultaneously, with the same radicalism should govern the flows into and multiply the means of integration. And with the same radicalism must affirm the principle that those who choose to live in Italy, there are only rights: there are the duties, there are laws to be respected. Integration and legality must always live with.
